audio ☂ un:liches.get.stitches

[Good morning Riverview. America's favourite wizard is here with an announcement.

America's favourite wizard is also doing his first audio only post, because he looks like shit and he's out of spell slots to cast Disguise Self.]


So, uh, what's up, my dudes? I'm gonna cut to the chase here, cause most of you aren't complete idiots and have probably noticed that some weird shit is happening and that weird shit, while not my fault, is thanks to some fucko in my world messing with magical items, so now we're dealing with the consequences.

[That fucko is Magnus, who he's throwing under the bus on this, although not by name at least.

There's a very audible sigh from Taako's end of things.]


Here's the skinny: an item with control over time has gotten its shit messed up in the portal, and that's why people are suddenly like, babies or whatever, and the folks here don't really, uh, well they don't know how to fix it. They don't know enough about the chalice, and I don't know enough about the portal, so... so we're asking for help. I'd put money on arcane knowledge getting us the furthest, but at this point I'm willing to take input from anyone who knows their science shit, too, as long as you're not gonna try to tell me that magic doesn't exist. I can guaran-fucking-tee that I'm not in the mood.

[Someone hasn't slept in two days because he's been trying to figure this out, worried about both the chalice itself and the potential that a part of the light existing in this universe could lead the Hunger to it.]

The big thing is that it needs to go back, we bring that shit all the way in here and it's gonna break pretty bad for a lot of people and this stupid cup has given me enough grief that I'm super ready to never see it again in my entire life. Anyone who wants to help should get in touch with the dudes running the portal, but if you got questions I can field 'em. Heads up, you'll get better answers if you promise me coffee.

[He's doing his Good Deed of the week, he could at least get some caffeine out of it.]

(She hardly needs to nod before he's on his feet and disappearing into another room. Well then. This is going pretty much as expected. She knuckles her eyes wearily, then gets up off the couch, linking her hands behind her back as she waits.

Hopefully they can get the chalice back through the portal smoothly, and– and forget that this happened? In her case, at least. It seems so unfair. If only she could sit down and write herself a note for when time reverses back, just as a warning, just so she won't be going into the future so blindly. So Taako won't have to carry the weight of her betrayal around alone.

She's lost in thought when he returns, staring at a fixed point in the distance, her brow furrowed.)

(Lucretia comes over to look at the little pile of information, slowly scanning all of his own information. She'd always been meaning to take a better look into the portal and how it worked, but she had been so distracted by her new surroundings and the people to talk to.)

Used to be alive? In what context, exactly?

(She plucks a book off the table and flicks through it with her thumb, speed reading a couple pages. Can't just throw some spells at it to fix it, huh. Well, that rules out a lot of what she's bringing to the table.)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

(It's too bad this has happened before she could make a proper inquiry into the portal. Lucretia eventually shuts the book, staring down at the cover, thinking.)

Maybe I could use a shield to nudge it back through.

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
I am.

(She's not being entirely facetious; she's actually secretly quite proud of how powerful she's become. It's nice to know her foray into abjuration spells isn't going to be time wasted.)

That might be the best way to get it back through without damaging it. (God forbid somebody tries to destroy it.)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Cheers.

(She places his book back on the table, and picks up a stack of his scribbles, shuffling slowly through them, squinting a little. There's a lot going on here, Taako.)

Mmm. Sooner, rather than later. Oh, but– (She grits her teeth, suddenly annoyed.) I don't have a wand either.

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

I suppose this place doesn't have a– secret wand shop anywhere though, does it? (It wouldn't surprise her at this point.)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
I can ask around if your spare is on loan.

(Might cause a little chaos, but the people here seem pretty giving. Also she's doing her being as polite as possible thing as a form of damage control.)
scholiast: <user name=anonbeadraws site=tumblr.com> (this is the nightmare scenario)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully it doesn't take a week.

(Ideally, she'll just go in there and push it back through the portal with one shield and then everything will be okay again. They probably should have a plan b though, huh, because when does anything they do ever go according to plan.)

What do we do if it doesn't work?
scholiast: <user name=sloanecakes site=tumblr.com> (★ ok yeah no)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That's fair.

(She frowns, bites her lip.) I'll do a bit of research, see if I can come up with anything. Has anybody else contacted you about removing the chalice?

(Maybe they can get a team set up or something.)
scholiast: <user name=anonbeadraws site=tumblr.com> ((young) now fisher is my best friend)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-07-01 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed.

Hopefully nobody tries to destroy it in a fit of heroics.

(Magnus isn't here, though, so it should be fine. Thinking this makes her smile, fondly.)
scholiast: <user name=lesbianvoidfish site=tumblr.com> (★ are you done)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-07-02 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I have heard that a couple times before.

(Her tone is just as dry; she gives him a knowing look. Despite the heavy nature of the conversation they'd just been having not long before, it's too easy to commiserate with him. He's still family, after all. He always will be.)
scholiast: <user name=anonbeadraws site=tumblr.com> (☆ alone)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-07-04 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose I'll head over there as soon as possible and see what kind of insider info I can lend, then.

(Hopefully it will help. This whole thing has caused enough distress to Taako that Lucretia feels very uncomfortable with it. It isn't... it isn't fair.)

Got any other tips for me?
